Just because something does not contain valves doesn't mean its a cheap/crap unit.
Likewise, just because something has valves doesn't mean it sounds good.
Therefore is it just the solid state thing that makes it silly? If so... erm, why?
Tiny Peavey were going for silly money a few months ago because apparently Josh Homme uses them in the studio. The same for the Fender Practice amp that Jonny Greenwood uses.

Earlier today, I decided to google a coin that I have in my possession. I saw an example on eBay for nearly £10,000.

There is a papertrail showing everything is above board. It can also be a way to cover up stolen goods. Crook A steals something. He then has Crook B put up an auction for a similar item at a stupid price. Crook B accepts a much lower offer so the "sale" goes through. Crook B gets his fence money. Crook A now has provenance for nicked gear.
The websites get their fees regardless so what do they care?
almost like a beginners boutique amp
One of the big problems is that they’re usually fitted with cheaper and inferior speakers, because the speaker is the single most expensive component. Fit a good speaker to any of the better-designed solid-state amps and you may be very surprised at the results.
